beta.sample: Resampling multiple-site dissimilarity for n sites

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) References See Also Examples

Description

Resamples the 3 multiple-site dissimilarities (turnover, nestedness-resultant fraction, and overall beta diversity) for a subset of sites of the original data frame.

Usage

1
beta.sample(x, index.family="sorensen", sites=nrow(x$data), samples = 1)

Arguments

x

data frame, where rows are sites and columns are species. Alternatively x can be a betapart object derived from the betapart.core function.

index.family

family of dissimilarity indices, partial match of "sorensen" or "jaccard".

sites

number of sites for which multiple-site dissimilarities will be computed. If not specified, default is all sites.

samples

number of repetitions. If not specified, default is 1.

Value

The function returns a list with a dataframe with the resampled 3 multiple-site dissimilarities (turnover fraction, nestedness-resultant fraction and overall dissimilarity; see beta.multi), a vector with the respective means and a vector with the respective standard deviation.

For index.family="sorensen":

sampled.values

dataframe containing beta.SIM, beta.SNE and beta.SOR for all samples

mean.values

vector containing the mean values of beta.SIM, beta.SNE and beta.SOR among samples

sd.values

vector containing the sd values of beta.SIM, beta.SNE and beta.SOR among samples

For index.family="jaccard":

sampled.values

dataframe containing beta.JTU, beta.JNE and beta.JAC for all samples

mean.values

vector containing the mean values of beta.JTU, beta.JNE and beta.JAC among samples

sd.values

vector containing the sd values of beta.JTU, beta.JNE and beta.JAC among samples
